Coronavirus (COVID-19) Resources In an effort to support our members with the most updated information on COVID-19 we developed this resource page to easily access current CDC information and other resources to assist you professionally and personally.

Ask your patients: Do you keep losing your keys, or forgetting names of people you just met? Maybe you can’t remember where you left your wallet more often than you’d care to admit.
Such lapses of memory tend to get people of a certain age to start stressing that they’re experiencing Alzheimer’s or dementia symptoms.
